Affluenza

The Good News Today Is...I learned a new word while I was studying this weeks scripture. It is "Affluenza". It is probably not in anyone's dictionary but it is an apt and fitting word for one of our society's biggest problems today - "Keeping up with the Jones'". Always having to buy the biggest and the best toys, always thinking you are the smartest, or your kids are the greatest. It is every bit as viral as influenza, and every bit as harmful. The cure for affluenza is to become a person who has a heart of service and accepts the least of the affluent into their arms as part of the family of God. The disease of affluenza is immediately cured and one can return to living a rich and full life as they go about doing their work for the heavenly kingdom. The flip side is to be affected by affluenza and have no desire for the cure. The effects of this are the same as the worst cases of influenza, for the wages of sin is death.
